His "comeback" band of the late '60s and early-mid '70s featured James Burton, also no slouch.

Yes! Also cited by all the "bigs".

But, for Elvis, in the words of Chuck D, "motherfuck him and John Wayne".

is that the one - Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me?

Yep. Like 'em both. PE's "Fight the Power". Saw them with Primus at Kaiser the night of the Oakland fires. Pretty heavy. Primus had just come off opening slot of Rush tour to be with Public Enemey. That's some crossover...
